As some of you might know, I am a craftsman, making traditional saami crafts, like drums, knives, wooden cups and sorts.
I just sold my shaman drum to a group of collectors in Spain called Mùsica para ver, Instrumentos del mundo, which has exhibitions throughout Spain and France.
The drum couldn't gone to a better place than this, as they have travelling exhibitions quite often, and my name will follow the drum wherever it goes!! :mrgreen:
Quite good news, and maybe this will help further sales of my work!

My brother got a new daughter on Friday morning, which was great news and a blessing for our family, and this on top of that can only mean a sign for better days to come,
I'm feeling quite surprised and blessed at the moment, it's been rough this past year, and hoping this is just the start of positive waves coming my way.

The drum they bought from me:

Good tidings indeed.

that is really great news you have there the drum is gorgeous I will have to deffinitly check out the site.

By the way how much do you charge for your drums I want to know if I can afford one, it would be great for our solstice rituals we have here and would make a good piece to add to my collection of instruments.

Congradulations on the newest member of your family also.

Thanks mate!

I had it up on ebay, and luckily they snagged it up for an all right price, it sold for $590.
The price also depends on the size and how much detail and time spent making them.
I'd say you could get a decent sized drum for about 350-400 dollars.

Beautiful work Tundra

cool gonna have to start saving now

you should post this drum and more of your creations in the "good with your hands" thread

I know I would really like to see more of your work and I bet alot of others here would too

Thanks, I think some of my work is already on that thread, unless the pics are gone, will have to check.

Very nice piece of craftmanship!

And I hope the positive line will continue, and things will go better for you from now on!

Great work on the Shaman drum - very cool it's going off on its travels with other works like this. Will keep an eye out to see if their exposition comes to Sth Fr. Keep coming those positive vibes

Tundra, you should be well chuffed with that drum, the craftsmanship is top notch!!

Fingers crossed this is just the start of the good luck you and your family are due.

What are you going to use now to attract reindeer into your bed?

Thanks guys!

Artoo: Let me know if you ever manage to go see an exhibition, would love to see some pics of the drum with all the other instruments!
